Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Tuesday, May 27th the PB Texas staff traveled to Denton Ryan HS in Denton TX, to host the DFW Summer ID - Session 1, an open event for all high school classes.

Around 40 players made their way to Denton Ryan and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Texas staff.

We have already released a Statistical Analysis, highlighting the event’s top performers in the more traditional stat categories, as well as a Takeaways, highlighting some of the event's top performers, while also posting Data Dives for both Pitchers and Position Players.

Today, we take a look at the scouting reports from the pitchers in attendance as well as rank the top 5 from the event.
